Episode 21: Blurp! Marlon de Leche for Naak

Monday, October 13, 2008

Never mind the 2 fishes; and the pillows and hammock. Naak wanted the Lechon de Leche so badly that they (finally) won a Reward Challenge over Jarakay - one of the toughest RC to date. The win also came at the most delectable reward SP has given. (Nanlumo ang Jarakay)

In a battle of body resistance, each castaway needs to swim and climb into a platform to hit a hanging claypot containing one key each. The castaway, then should dive and search for the fallen key. Once found, he needs to swim back to the shore and hang the key to a holder. After completing 6 keys, the puzzle maker should open a box containing the pieces he needs to form.

("hi admin sorry but just a quick correction. the distance was measured and it came out between 50 to 55 meters. just wanted to make sure that the efforts of the castaways arent under valued. thanks again!" - Paolo Bed.)

5 swimmers and 1 puzzle maker each tribe. Kaye and Nikki were the puzzle makers, the rest were the swimmers.

Nanay Zita amazingly (at her age) swims fast. She was the first to reach the platform and break a pot. But she was slightly overtaken by Jace on their way back to the shore.

Cris suffered cramps and was stopped for a while but still managed to return ahead of Vern. (Dude! I'm cramps. Dude! I'm cramps!)

The race between Rob and Marlon dictated the result of the challenge. Rob smoothly have done the challenge. Marlon, even before the start appears bothered. Fact is, he can swim but not as good (Remember the first day of Survivor when he asks Kiko's help in the waters?) Apart from swimming slowly, his backward hit on pot spelled disaster for his tribe. His attack on the pot throws the key to a deeper part of the waters. And he didn't even really bother to submerse. He kept on holding at the platform, trying to find the key with his bare eyes - this to the dismay of his tribemates. JC has finished his turn, and Kiko has started (the 5th man) when Marlon yelled for help. One rule in the challenge is, a castaway can call for help - but they'll be on halt for 3 minutes. An John went swimming towards the platform, not to hatch another pot, but to find the missing key. As Marlon tries to say something to John, the latter, upset, exclaims, "wag ka na lang magsalita."

Nanay Zita (again) was the one to complete the keys, so she swam back. She really amazes me. Di pa uugud-ugod si lola. (Lola sya ni Dyesebel!) While John and Marlon are still looking for the lost key, Nanay Zita is in her composure and successfully finished the track.

ohn was just too late to overtake and snatch the win from Naak. Kaye quickly opened the box and easily solved the puzzle with the help of signals from her tribemates.

AND IT'S A HAPPY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR CRIS!

Before the Reward Challenge....................... (Recaps courtesy of DYONISSI, read more...)

Tribal Council ended with Vevh being voted off. Paolo then announced that the reason why the Jarakay tribe was present, was because, the Naak tribe will be going with the former to their camp.

When both tribes arrived at campsite, the fire was already gone. But as soon as the fire was started, Kiko narrated that they had some socials, kwento-kwento.
 
Jace then talked with JC. Jace stated that during their first day, the two already had an alliance together with John. He was asking JC if they were to push through with their original alliance. According still to Jace, JC said that what they have planned earlier will push through.

JC, in his interview said, "Sobrang kilala ko siya noong first day sa Jarakay eh. Sobra kaming nag-uusap lagi. Ngayon, hindi ko alam kung anong balak niya. Kung sumama man ako sa alliance nila sa Jarakay, hindi ko naman sure na, yung mga kasama niya, hindi ako ivo-vote off eh. So I think I have to stick with my new tribe. Kasi nga, dito sure ako na kung ano ang sinabi nila, yung...may prinsipyo ang tribe namin. Pinaka-solid na alliance ko talaga si Kiko and Rob eh. Si Cris, kasama na rin namin. And di ko alam kila Kiko and Rob kung sino ke Mommy Zita or Kaye ang pipiliin nila pero it's up to them kasi, ako sa majority ng alliance kung sino ang gusto nila. Pero nag stick na kami sa promise namin...tatlo kami." (Ang haba ng interview LOL!)
 
Rob, being funny, asked permission from Charisse if he could dance with the Jarakay flag because, according to him, he was the flag bearer before. Rob then proceeded to do a sexy dance with the flag, which he ended with a Kiss.

After a few handshakes, Cris even told Marlon, "Kala ko 'di na tayo magkikita ulit eh."

And after a hug with Rob, Marlon told Rob, "Trash talking lang yung last na ano pare."
 
Around the fire, Kiko introduced Nanay Zita to John who was just quiet in the corner but extended his hand towards Nanay Zita. Nanay Zita held her hand as well and the two exchanged greetings. "Hi, John," Nanay Zita said.
 
While most of the Naak tribe were sitting around the fire, Marlon asked them why they were not mixing themselves with the Jarakay members. Marlon just received a "Sige lang" from Rob and Cris.
 
Cris said in his interview, "Biniro ni Rob si Marlon na, 'Wala ba tayong makakain diyan?' 'Sandali lang ha, titingnan natin kung meron pa.'"
 
Marlon then gave the Naak tribe members a banana each.

Cris in his interview continued, "Kumbaga, siya ang nag entertain sa amin."

Naak has all praises for the big Marlon. Cris says, "Iba si Marlon..." Kaye comments, "Friendly siya... although minsan papansin..." She even said that "Ang cute naman ng dimples ni Marlon."

Zita also had good words for Marlon, calling him almost like an "atsoy" (not tabatsoy, okay!). Marlon helped Nanay to wash their shellfish, saying "Nakakahabag ka naman..."

It was totally Marlon who entertains the visiting tribe and really, I mean really, showed hospitality. He even slept with the Naak castaways. He, sort of, redeemed himself a little from what the other tribe thought of him.
